2017
A special election for the position of New Hampshire House of Representatives District Belknap 9 was held on September 12, 2017. A primary election was scheduled for September 12, 2017, with the special election on November 7, 2017, but the primary was canceled after only one person from each party filed. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was June 16, 2017.[1]
The seat became vacant on May 17, 2017, after Robert Fisher (R) resigned from the state House. It was revealed that he was the creator of an online forum on the website Reddit. The forum—called The Red Pill—promoted itself as a "discussion of sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men."[2] Fisher said he resigned because "...the falsehoods, lies and comments of an overzealous blogger and some of my colleagues have created a situation where I must genuinely consider the safety and well-being of my girlfriend, my family, and myself."[3][4]
Charlie St. Clair (D) defeated Steven Whalley (R) in the special election.[1]
